    Default Old French Razors

    There was a brand called "Lura", not sure of the spelling than someone showed on this site some time ago. I have been looking for one of these razors but have not been able to locate one.

    This link posted by Neil Miller is useful. There seem to be hundreds and I'm never sure if they are retailers names stamped on the tang, or manufacturers.

    In my limited sampling, my French blades have the retailer stamped on the front, but the manufacture did not stamp the rear.

    Rameau à Sens was a manufacture. They appear to have made my "Gelle Aine & Cie" that I posted here. looks like Gelle Aine & Cie used to be Gelle Freres, and there are some of those razors elsewhere on here on SRP.

    I have have a blade stamped "Radiante" and another as "Deuvert Freres". That blade is a very pretty wedge that I am looking forward to scaling.

    Here is a googlebook link to a flyer of Gelle Aine & Cie that mentions used to be Gelle Freres.

    Hi all and a Happy New Year !
    To bring this threat alive again, I will show you some pics of a french 5/8'' bellied SR I got today.
    It came aged and dirty. After some carefully clean up & honing I ended up with a nice & shaving sharp antique razor.
    Unfortunately I cannot find out WHO made it.
    It is made from a very good carbon steel, has brass pins and black bakelite scales, so I guess it was made from abt. 1910s to 1940s.
    All googeling I did with variations of the possible make or brand was w/o any success...
    I would be very happy if anyone has an idea WHO made this SR or what's the meaning of the partial readable script on the tang...!
